bush and any way to adjudicate the possibilities of what war means to the obama administration? >> well, i think that, i think that is absolutely right, it has been a continuation of the bush administration policies, and yes, administrations always try to push the outer bounds of the authority. but one thank is clear is that the laws of war have not changed even if the practice has changed. there are really three reasons that a country can, a state can use force outside of its borders. one, if it is the victim of an armed attack and second if the u.n. security council authorizes it, and three, assisting a state that requests it, and we have stretched that boundary as well far beyond what the laws of war call for. so i think that there is a very serious question about this question of perpetual war, but we should remember historically in the 20th century, the u.s. was at war virtually every decade of the 20th century, so if we think of ourselves as peaceful country that does not engage in war, we need to rethink that. >> that is right. david, i want to ask this question, because

obama has lectured endlessly and tirelessly for african-american people? but beyond that, jesse jackson and alvin toussaint in the 1970s had a book called "why blacks kill blacks." so please don't pretend african-american people have not been on this case. but this is what we know. white on white crime is a devastation in america like so-called black on black crime. it's not black or white crime. it's proximity murder. people kill where they live. so we have to talk about that in a broader sense. and guess what? the cameras don't show up in chicago like they show up in newtown and aurora. all we're asking is for equal attention paid to crises at a time of enormous distress for our vulnerable children to be assisted. so mr. o'reilly, i'd love to have that conversation about protecting yourself behind white picket fences and fox news and having digital courage. come in the streets where you went to sylvia and you were surprised that black people don't throw bananas at each other or swing from trees. >> isn't this the problem, though, with the whole idea of t
